That's sad. Ironically, a second front end wreck is what started my build, which is almost complete.
taking it on a 1500 mile shakedown cruise soon. Not a rock crawler, but a 600 mile range glamper !
It's finishing up pretty well. Taking a 1500 mile trip to Angel Fire to test it out.
Starlink Hammock is working pretty good, getting 65mb/s+ while moving.
Have a few trim pieces to acquire, a Eurowise bull/light bar to choose, rock rails to purchase, rack to build (Sherpa parts), and a front...
Hey... Headlights...
still need to replace the lens on the drivers side. Also, because I used a 2008 SLine bumper on my 2012 Q7, I need to pull
the front end off again, and pull the wiring harness and put in the one from the 2012, as the old harness is not compatible with
the LED turn...
Mesh screen actually came out OK. The parts that aren't ok, should be covered mostly by the Eurowise bull bar. Which still needs to be ordered. It's a good 10 footer.
Probably be some lead time on that, as they are moving warehouses, and as my options are raised version that clears the parking...
I doubt this will leave the pavement for much more than dirt roads, and snowy roads to ski areas, but it'll look good doing it!
The Q7 drivetrain isn't really made for rock crawling, so I'll likely take it easy on it.
Getting close...
Some trimming around the intercoolers, then some aluminum mesh on the lower turn signal vents, and some modification to the turnsignals themselves since this is a 2008 S Line bumper, as my original parts won't fit quite right, but this year bumper had the parking sensors on the...
Autocross season started, so the Ohlins install on the Cayman took precedence, and before that even, the solar powered Mini-split AC install for the garage, cuz IMA wimp...
This powers it, and charges our Ford Lightning Daily driver.
Moves with the sun on actuators, and LDR sensors. A little...
Keepin' moving but slow. Had to do a bunch of work to my autocross car(see pic, lower and hopefully faster with Ohlins), but after this weekend, could possibly finish the basic build.
Still need to:
relocate the Intercoolers (just make some brackets to move them forward a bit)
install the...
Hey, you don't know where to get those screw terminal white plastic bus bars do you? I got one with an Arduino Kit and haven't been able to find them since.
They are super handy.
spacers on, three of four wheels on, Wilco swing out tire carrier is in...
Superwinch 12k on the way, and need to make some intercooler relocation brackets to pull them forward.
Then start on the 8020 roof rack.
New to the board, for the most part, new to off roading. Did a light build on a 97' Cherokee a decade ago, which was replaced with a 2002 Nissan Xterra SC 4x4, that was lightly offroaded.
Just added my 2012 Audi Q7 Diesel build to the rig build page. It's going up 3", on 33's.
When we finish...
Howdy,
This is where I'm at on my 2012 Audi 3.0 Diesel.
3"lift with a 1" subframe drop. New BBS wheels, and 33's. (275/70-18)
winchmount front bumper with a bullbar going in as well.
Wilco Offroad swingout rear tirecarrier for the spare.
Probably be building a DIY, 8020 rack, as well.
Rear...
